A new doctor

When it came time for Quasimodo's annual physical, he had to get a new doctor because his old one had retired. After the examination, the new doc told Quasimodo that he suspected back trouble. When Quasimodo asked the doctor why he suspected that, the doc said, "Oh, I don't know. It's just a hunch".

HT to our Senior Warden who seems to share my sense of humor on all sorts of things.

Walk Naked in America Day

Email received this morning:

WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY

As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked and if he does, he must commit suicide. So next Saturday at 1 PM, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their houses to demonstrate their support for the women and to prove that they are not Muslim terrorist sympathizers. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your patriotism. The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity. God bless America!

If I did that, my innocent neighbors would die laughing.

Another one for Padre Mickey and MadPriest

For Padre Mickey and MadPriest

who are posting, um, interesting "music". I actually prefer the accordian version I heard on my favorite radio station from Cortland, OH this morning. I don't recommend you listen to the postings on either Padre Mickey's Dance Party or OCICBW.

Episcopal baseball

The Suffragan Bishop for Baseball has posted the following rubrics for the observation of baseball in the Episcopal Church:

Every game is a double-header. The early game is played by National League rules. The later game is played by American League rules.

Read the rest at Andrew Plus.

PS: Contrary what some Episcopal bloggers would have you believe, you do not have to be a Red Sox fan to be welcome in The Episcopal Church. You might, however, be careful what jersey you wear.

iTit

Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

Comments on the Economic Stimulus Package

Apparently the American Medical Association has weighed in on the new economic stimulus package....

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington.

Natural Born Citizen

The following is a funny and true story occurring in an AP Government class at Santa Fe High School:

In one civics class, the young adults were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States. It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural born citizen and at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"

They walk among us and they vote.

Hat tip to Randal.

Please help a missionary visit home

Every Friday, well almost, Padre Mickey and his lovely wife Mona bring us Friday Mr. Red Peanut Bank and Gallito Mescalito Blogging. The latest episode, an historical look back, is here.

Padre Mickey is an Episcopal missionary in Panama. You can check out his work at his blog Padre Mickey's Dance Party. It's obvious from the faces that he is doing good work there. In April Padre Mickey and Mona hope to go on sabbatical for a few months. Unfortunately they exist on minimal missionary pay which gives them enough to exist but not do anything else. They plan to return to the US but have little or no savings with which to pay for a place to live.

The Rev. Elizabeth Kaeton (TELP) at Telling Secrets and our beloved MadPriest at OCICBW have launched another fundraising appeal. You may remember that we raised money for a church in Rio a couple of years ago. Those of us who know Padre Mickey and Mona, albeit vicariously, would appreciate a contribution. Were they to receive enough funding, they could come east and we could have another big party and all meet in person. If you would like more specific information, including what is planned for the gifts, please go to either blog.

There are Paypal buttons on both Telling Secrets and OCICBW. Or if you prefer, you may send your checks (or cheques) or money orders, made out to The Episcopal Church of St. Paul and marked "City of God Appeal" to:


The Episcopal Church of St. Paul
200 Main Street
Chatham, NJ (USA) 07928


Please help!

MDs' Opinions of the Financial Bailout Package

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, grow up!'

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington.
